At the start of the year, the Sports Department arranges a couple of fun whole school activities. The first being the Whole School Athletics Day event. We spend the day at a track and field venue, and compete in a range of sprints, jumps and throws events. For most of our students, this is a fun and social day and an opportunity for our new students to have fun outside of the classroom with their peers and teachers. For our competitive students, this is an opportunity to be noticed and possible selection to represent AGGS at the College Sport Auckland Central-West-East zones usually held early March.
We also hold a Whole School Swimming Day event, and again we encourage all our students to participate and have fun along the way. This also provides an opportunity for selection to compete and represent AGGS at swimming zones and Auckland Champs meets.
Further down the track, a cross country event is arranged in term 2 as a lead up for the Distance Running competitions.
